Luis, you did well sir, thanks for the report, enjoyed that.

JB, thanks for the info. Thought about it after the post on SLG888 post on bullets, my doc friend that had mixed results on 2 safari's, was using the original X or perhaps and XBT if they made it, the 165 in '06.

You may or may not have something to say about the 'evolution' of R&D at Barnes and how the TSX and later TTSX came about and changed results. Some rumors I heard in the past were that the material used in mfg. was of inconsistent hardness and affected the results. Later being corrected. No idea if there was truth in that story, but nothing but positive things said from most nowadays w/current Barnes from what I see.

What are you seeing and hearing with E-tips, vs. say FS and Barnes?

BTW, guys, no flies on 30s, just never been my interest, no doubt they do a fine job. The '06 and H&H are timeless classics. Perhaps the 6.5x55 and 7x57 are elsewhere.

Thanks all.
